As you all know there are several workout journals on this board, including mine. These journals give us great insight into the depth of weightlifting, but the board doesn't have a way to show great breadth.
My idea is to have everyone post their personal bests (in whatever is your favorite exercise, or group of exercises), then it can be updated with new PBs when they are set. Everyone is free to post here, and hopefully the thread will help the community to come together and celebrate one anothers' achievements.

Well, my PR's were done 20-25 years ago, so i think posting them now would be irrevelant. my right hip starting going south about 4 years ago. I still squat and pull off the floor, but have to be very careful about it. With that, I'm training mostly now to keep fit, and haven't really gone after a max in three years, going mainly for strength/endurance. Am 5'8" approx 170, 56 years old. What I am proud of, was that I clean and pressed 185, then clean and jerked 225 to celebrate my 50th B day. Was then give or take 170. Am currently starting a new cycle and will post halfway through in about 5-7 weeks.

Very nice deadlift Ryan. Im still pretty new to it, just over the last month or so have i started doing it regularly...but i have fallen in love with it already! Of course making rapid gains always helps ;)

I was following a westside routine with a lot of speed box squats and max effort box squats. Every 2-4 weeks I would do a deadlift and the numbers were always pretty good. Then after some time, I did a 3 week cycle of deadlifts and the 2nd and 3rd weeks really brought my number up.

The key to deadlifting a big max is to train singles and other lower reps.

For benching and squatting, I have found the higher reps to help my max, but with the deadlift, it just doesnt work like that, atleast for me.

I also think I have good natural leverages for the deadlift, probably why I am so bad at bench (long arms).

Standard Deadlift ill be doing in a few days, im expecting it to be no less than 310x2. Its not that great but im still fairly knew at it and i've probably shot up like 50lbs over the past month...so im excited about that. As for why i didnt post a standard flat bench press, well, ive decided to lay off of that the past couple months in favor of a different variation. I need to let my Row catch up cause ive always had a bad imbalance (due to neglect!). Last month i did close grip flat bench, i got 225 for 3. The Row numbers i posted i can do more with a medium underhand grip...but i focus on the wide pronated grip cause its the same width as my bench press grip.
